Isis - Hand of the Host

[TomBandfield]

5:47 - Ohhh yeah... :D

[perrottafamily1]

Post Metal gives 100 percent proof of an afterlife :)

[davethehostage]

@perrottafamily1 No.

[perrottafamily1]

@davethehostage To put it bluntly.

[ericleb01]

@perrottafamily1 No.

[supernerd1123581321]

@SamuelHellDay but after that short period of time where it was just hardcore punk with experimentation, they commercialized the fuck out of it!

[KingTaargusVII]

It's Post Rock or Atmospheric Sludge.

[Tanga26927]

@KingTaargusVII

what's atmospheric sludge?

[KingTaargusVII]

@Tanga26927 It's bands like Isis, basically.

It's slow aggression, with harmony and intense parts all the while surrounded by a deeply emotional and melodic atmosphere.

[Tanga26927]

@KingTaargusVII

thank you pal, now I got it!

[LAWIVETTE]

<333

[lamerical]

post metal?  why can't it just be called great music.

[TheStinkfister]

this is post-metal, for all you people arguing about it.

[generalten]

@SamuelHellDay i think that the vast majority of metalcore and post hardcore bands are too comercialized, and have forgotten their traditional hardcore punk roots, which is why i feel that they are lesser in many ways.

[supernerd1123581321]

@generalten way to completely steal my opinion out of my mind :P

[TheJonnyyyy]

Isis' genre is Isis. No one else sounds like them, and no one else probably ever will.

[generalten]

@TheJonnyyyy rosetta. sorry

[lvmen666]

ISIS is good band

[ShroomSamich]

thinking man's metal indeed

[Shippingshit]

Damn, I love this song. And what a way to end it. Everytime I hear that chanting, I think of ancient astronauts for some reason.

[metalhos]

this can't be post rock, cause it rocks.

[tmcchriss]

This music can tap into the subconcious

[Gonko100]

it sucks they broke up. it really does. btw, everyone interested in good music, check out maudlin of the well. honest recommendation, very brilliant stuff

[zmigi87]

I was really dissapointed when I heard that they are splitting. I went to their concert about a year ago and it was like a two-hour orgasm:) They were absolutly fantastic, one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

[omnitype007]

"To be devoured, by my lustful heart."

[000kingskater000]

i never been into any post metal song but this is good

[0crakhadshizzakizza0]

@000kingskater000 Maybe it's because Post Metal just exists maybe a few years

[Freedish911]

good song

[amusingsbnl]

Wow, I've never really gotten into Isis, but DAMN!

[HaaaWaaaX]

It's not Post Rock, it's Post Hardcore ! There is a difference.

Post rock, it's bands like "Explosions In the Sky" or "This will destroy you"

[Kellyo90]

@HaaaWaaaX post hardcore is fugazi, its post metal which is closer to post rock in sound anyways

[blackmanorigins]

@HaaaWaaaX WTF are you crazy isis is Post-metal and sludge metal there is no souch thing as post hardcore you made that up look it up on wikipedia

[pu4pk3rs]

@HaaaWaaaX post hardcore is all the emo bands you here like bless the fall, circa survive, underoath, emarosa etc..

[represent93]

jeeeez....isis blows me away

i never get into music the way i get into isis

Isis is definately special

[SleepingGiant100]

@represent93 so much emotion if you open yourself up to it

[PBLOVSH]

cult of luna makes some similar stuff

[Infuzor]

b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. soothing melodies and pure agression, this song is like a goddamn sea storm.

[TataBrada80]

totally folky song.

[ughmas]

my favorite Isis song and in my opinion one of the greatest songs ever recorded.

[namoroman666]

I think I have too agree on this being their greatest song

[Geetarguy4]

damn.

this is beyond amazing

people say that post-rock is boring and whatever, but it probably has the most diverse and unique structure and sound of any other genre out there. its beautiful

[crassisdead]

It's actually post-metal but the only difference is the yelling and it's slightly heavier, still good shit though.

[ERiiK98]

@Geetarguy4 I know exactly what you mean, sometimes i cant believe what im hearing when im listening to isis, its like a god damn sea of paintings something lol

[Xavierrex3]

@Geetarguy4 i couldn't agree more my friend, post-metal and rock is amazing and so unique and probably more creative than any other music

[PBLOVSH]

their tone is unique and amazing!

[ilikeost]

@Geetarguy4 Well Isis isn't post-rock even if they do have some post-rock influence.

[LazyD86]

@Geetarguy4 Post-metal. Not post-rock.

[pizza69]

It doesn't get any more EPIC than this.

[getlostidiot1]

i dont know if this is what is called as peace.. but it surely shreds my pain

[CrookedX777]

Starting at 6:22 and ending at 9:35, wow!

[doesntmatterdude76]

7:05 OH MY FUCKIN GOD!!!!!!!!!

What massive sound! Goddamn it makes me feel like I am standed out in the middle of the ocean.

Probably my favorite part of Wavering Radiant.

[JimB667]

lol... or Justin

[jaymaster007]

Shit. That's sick.

[Qouipat]

The bass sound remindes me of sir Chancellors sound

[JimB667]

yes.... Sir Chancellor

[kkataja44]

What's the difference of post metal and doom metal? both are beautiful and heavy.

[mavdrb]

metal is more different that so much other stuff in my opinion that you need to catagorise it somewhat if you wanna have a clue about what other bands you don't know are playing if you are talking about them.

[ibanez0000]

Heavy post-rock influence on post-metal, typically more about the expansion and evolution of the sound/song/album.

[NuReflexion]

am i trippin or is the isis wavering radiant part of the album moving!

[glavata69]

NuReflexion: you ain't tripping. it is really moving! The yellow spheres light up, I am suuuuure.

[WyattThePhyst]

This album is so atmospheric and heavy. Love it.

[analfrost]

4:50 is amazing

[klangtapete]

never said this before.. but these guys have some kind of magic!

[fog152]

What a beautiful song. Addictive
